Fish and Child in Lenormand
Fish is money; Child is beginning. Read in that order, the pair says: a small new income stream begins.
Reading Fish + Child
Fish brings money and flow, while Child makes that flow small, fresh and just beginning. The income is modest at first, perhaps a first payment or a tiny side venture rather than a large sum. In everyday money matters it can look like a small new client, an initial deposit, or a little earnings stream that has only just opened and still needs time.
How the order works
Fish comes first and supplies the subject: money and flow. Child comes second and modifies it: small and fresh. Together: Money and flow small and fresh.
Swap them and the sentence changes. Child + Fish begins with a new beginning and ends with flowing with money — Small earnings from a fledgling venture
